Hoodies update


Ok, so Indyink didnt come through with the screenprinted hoodies, and that is fine. It turns out that the image we want on the hoodies would come out best if it was directly printed onto the garment. Indyink doesnt offer direct to garment printing, but through some online research i was able to find a company based out of California, Tagless Threads.


Ive been going back and forth with Tagless for a couple weeks now and we're just about ready to order our first dozen hoodies with this image on the back; they will be white and heather grey.


Stay up to date by following us. We'll be giving a hoody away to the 10th follower of our blog that replies to the email below with their contact information and lets us know how they heard of us.




Onward.

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait?

After anticipating some new gear and news from a new local shop, we ended the day empty handed. Turns out the artwork for the new hoodies we are working on cannot be printed, yet. Current printing company's proof did not meet our expectations. After decisions on placement, size, spacing, color and seeing a "mock-up" design, we were extremely excited. Reviewing the proof hoodie yesterday, we encountered that the color and detail quality on one of the three images was non existent. Turns out our artwork requires a multi-color process of printing that cannot always be matched, just yet! After numerous phone calls, emails, and texts we made the decision to look into other methods and companies to produce our hoodies just as we want them.

After contacting and submitting for product placement at a new local retailer, we were informed the decisions for this iteration had already been made. Looks like we were just a bit late in our submission. With yesterdays events and news, we are even more motivated and will continue to work toward our goal of producing quality, detailed clothing. Although, I begin to wonder if the whole, " Good Things Come To Those Who Wait," thing is true? The best is yet to come.
